"[Confirm the cross wind, third from the left of the scale.]"
Sarah Lan is adjusting her gun at the sniper point in "ghost mode" while the microcomputer included with the multi-function eyepiece is calibrating ballistics for her.
"[Confirm the airflow between buildings, go up two on the scale.]"
The target of this sniper attack was none other than Governor Korhal, Angus Mengsk, who was about to deliver a New Year's speech.
According to reports sent back by sleeper agents, the governor, who advocated good treatment of clones, planned to declare Korhal to secede from the Terran Federation at the end of his speech and start a referendum.
This is undoubtedly a betrayal of the Federation. When the hearts of governors and legions in various star regions are in doubt, it is an excellent target to kill as a warning to others.
Although her current position is 1,600 meters away from the podium, she is sure that the "Widowmaker" in her hand will hit the target as accurately as countless times before.
It uses tungsten steel armor-piercing bullets, with an activation time of up to three seconds, an effective range of five kilometers, and a penetration depth of 1.2 meters. Even if a "piggy" detects an abnormality and blocks it with his body, it cannot save the governor's life.
War porcupine, huh, the governor's son probably never thought that there would be "ghosts" from the Federation hidden in this direct force that he specially transferred from the border to strengthen the security.
After all, before this mercenary team arrived at Kohal, he could not tell the actual mission out of caution. Therefore, compared with the tightly sealed Kohal system, he was less cautious when sneaking into this team because he didn't know what to do.
It is not difficult at all in the defensive team.
However, such a powerful firearm naturally has recoil that is unbearable for ordinary people. If Kerrigan really dares to shoot in "ghost mode", regardless of whether the governor dies or not, she will definitely die because half of the bones in her body are completely shattered.
Yes, therefore, the "Nano Combat Suit" must be switched from "Ghost Mode" to "Power Mode", and the gun can only be fired after the body is fully revealed. This is also the only shortcoming of "Widowmaker" at present.
Of course, as long as the target is hit, Korhal, who is in chaos, will not be able to chase an assassin. How to deal with the ensuing anger of the Federation is the key. With Korhal's search level, if he wants to find himself with ghost mode turned on,
The difficulty is comparable to returning to Earth.
"[Dear citizens of Tyranid, unknowingly, it has already been our eightieth year of pioneering in the new world -]" Angus Mengsk's voice came from the loudspeaker, and it could be seen from the scope
It can be seen that this first-generation human leader looked calm and confident when facing tens of thousands of citizens, but unfortunately, because he took the wrong path, his fate was about to end here.
"[Form switching.]" Kerrigan maintained her aiming posture and began to switch the nano combat suit from "ghost mode" to "power mode".
Physically, the originally light and soft combat uniform is gradually becoming hard and heavy, the joints and other parts used to generate force are tightening, and the protection of other parts that are prone to fatal attacks has been obviously strengthened.
The technology of this combat suit is different from that of the "Widowmaker". It mainly comes from the pioneer civilization "Ute" and was initially modified by the Tyranid Federation Academy of Sciences to suit human strength and protection.
"Ghost mode", as the name suggests, is a stealth mode that can block optical, infrared, sound waves, electron beams and other commonly used scanning and locking technologies currently used by humans. If specific goggles are not used, the user cannot see himself, despite his own weight.
There is still no way to deal with the air disturbance caused by the operation, but it is not important for long-range sniping. The whole person is completely like a "ghost", which is why the Tyranid Federation calls this secret force "ghost".
As for "power mode", it is a general term. It can not only increase the user's strength through the exoskeleton mode, but also enhance the speed, resistance to impact and radiation protection. If necessary, it can even breathe underwater. Once this is turned on
mode, the user can call it a humanoid siege tank. Conventional firepower is basically ineffective against it, and heavy firepower is difficult to aim. If this mode cannot be turned on for a long time and is expensive to manufacture, the Federation may have regarded it as a standard.
Military uniforms were issued.
Generally speaking, if a ghost cannot use "stealth mode" to solve the target or accidentally triggers an alarm, he must switch to power mode to escape, or kill all the enemies who find him.
Hiss——
Following some kind of subtle and undetectable sound, Kerrigan noticed that her gun-holding arm was "appearing out of thin air". To describe it, it looked like it was "drawn" in the void by a rough paintbrush.
, and this also means that the mode switch is about to be completed, and all that needs to be done next is to pull the trigger.
"[From today on, humans and clones in the Korhal galaxy will no longer fight each other, and no force can shake our hope.]"
It could be seen in the eyepiece that the citizens of Keha in the square had vaguely heard something from the speech delivered by their governor. Each one showed excitement and expectation, and waves of cheers were heard from a distance.
"Haha, I'm so sorry for shattering your dreams." Kerrigan whispered to herself, and then pulled the trigger.
"[I, Angus Mengsk, as the Governor of the Planet, hereby declare——]"
Boom——!
After a short delay, with the dull sound of gunfire and the sudden flash of fire from the muzzle, the powerful recoil from the "Widowmaker" gun stock made Kerrigan, who was in power mode, somewhat unsteady.
In any case, I should have been discovered by those "piglets", must... what!?
The expected scene of the speaker falling down and chaos in the audience did not appear. Instead, there was "something" flying rapidly in the opposite direction along the path of his shooting.
Boom—pop!
With the virtual fireworks blooming, Kerrigan rolled through the window of the house behind her and jumped in. Almost at the same time, a thin dark red light beam passed by with a slight buzzing sound, clearing the narrow platform she had previously stepped on.
Split in half, the fracture looks like it has been burned by a laser.
"Emile Mengsk?!" Kerrigan recognized the girl mentioned in the intelligence as soon as he saw the other person, but no matter which intelligence it was, it was clearly written that she was an "ordinary person"!
"Ah..." Emil, who was still dressed as a literary girl, adjusted his glasses and waved the things in his hand casually.
It was a strange weapon with a handle in the middle and a red beam of light protruding from each end. Although it looked like an ancient lamp, Kerrigan couldn't ignore the power it had just cut through the metal ground with ease.
"Because she realized her father was being sniped, she awakened the Force and became a Jedi in desperation. This is very reasonable." The girl said to herself.
Totally unreasonable! And the shape of your Light Saber is obviously that of a Sith!
